The return of the Dark Lords

This is a crossover between Dark is Rising sequence and Harry Potter.

This is my first story AND I don't speak English as my first language so sorry if there are some (or many) misspellings.

Sorry to say that I don't own Susan Cooper or J.K Rowling's characters…

Voldemort sat in the black chair, wrapped in shadows. No one in the room could see his face and they didn't try to see it.

The Dark Lord was angry. Very angry. All of his loyal servants had failed him; none of them had brought him Harry Potter. And he had to act different now.

"My Lord?" Lucius´ voice was low and respectful. Voldemort didn't answer so he continued carefully, "Is it wise to ask him for help? He is, after all, evil."

There came a soft laughter from the chair. It was terrifying. All the Death Eaters shivered by fear.

Voldemort got up and turned his face against them. They saw his horrifying red eyes, the flat nose – a snake's nose – and his smiling mouth. And when he spoke, he spoke with a hissing voice:

"He is evil, yes, but he is strong. And you forget, Lucius, that he also is a Lord of the Dark."

Lucius didn't look pleased, but he didn't say anything. None of them did, they knew Voldemort would get even angrier if they protested.

The Dark Lord walked restless around in the room, thinking. "I finally got a plan. And this time, Harry Potter will be mine. Now go and get him."

The nervous Death Eaters rushed out of the room. Only Lucius was left back.

Voldemort looked at him with contempt. "I said go."
"My Lord, you cannot trust him. He is from the Dark but he is not with you. He only wishes to take revenge over the Light."

There was silence in a long, tensed moment. They starred at each other for a long, long time.

Then Voldemort turned around. "I know. But he will serve me. And perhaps he can do better than you."

It was Tuesday. Will hated that day. It was so long and boring, even though it was winter holiday.

He stared out of his window, trying to imagine that he was on holiday in Dubai. But there was yellowish snow outside, and the weather was cold and grey.

Dubai, Will thought to himself, sunshine and girls in bikinis. And ice cream and a big swimming pool…

A big knock on his door interrupted his daydream. He was again in his room. "Come in."

The door opened and he's mother came in.

"Hi, Willie", she said and smiled kindly. "We are all leaving; Dr. Armstrong has invited us for tea. Are you sure you don't want to come?"

Will said yes and he's mother went out of the room. She closed the door behind her.

After a while he heard their car starting. He was all alone in the house, nobody was home.

Then why did he had such a feeling… like someone was in the room? He looked around. No. No one.

Will sat down on the floor, leaning against his bed, and started to dream of Dubai again. Beaches, warm sand beneath he's feet. Blonde beach-babes in bikinis…

"I didn't know you preferred blondes, Old One."

He stood up in a hell of a hurry. Merriman stood in front of him and smiled.

Will opened he's mouth, but nothing came out. He was so embarrassed that his master had seen those thoughts.

"I am sorry to disturb you, Will, but something important had happened." The Lord of the Light's voice was serious. "The Black Rider has escaped from his exile from outside Time. He has returned."

No! Will was shocked. A clear picture of a man with chestnut hair on a big, black horse filled his mind. "But where is he now? Can't we capture him again?" He sounded desperate.

Merriman glanced down at him with a sad look. "I am afraid not. It is much worse than you think. He had joined Voldemort."

Suddenly, Will felt sorry for no reason. Like something had got inside him and stolen his happiness. That name… he hadn't heard it before, still something seemed familiar about it. It didn't even sound like a name – more like a spell; a happiness-sucker-spell.

"Come with me. We are going to Hogwarts, a school for wizards and witches. Voldemort wants one of the students there. And I am pretty sure that he has asked the Rider for help. I will explain it all to you there."

This was the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. Remember that I don't speak English as my first language, so sorry for the mistakes in the text TT
